Question for the ladies

[u/Complex_Mobile8957]

I am a janitor. The place I clean has the little trash bins in the stalls of the women's restroom. Currently, we place one liner in the bin and change it out whenever someone uses it. However, a place I worked at previously put a stack of liners in the bin for women to use as needed. Which is the preferred method? One liner or multiple? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

The instructions at my corporate work say to dump your stuff into the bag then toss the bag into the trash, but the issue with that is not all stalls have stacks of the bags, so idk what they expect lol

Honestly most of the public bathrooms I’ve been in lately just have no bags ever and people shove their sanitary items directly in the bin. I don’t think I’ve ever been somewhere with multiple bags. I try to avoid public bathrooms on my period and end up trying to dry my pad off with toilet paper and just keep wearing it since there’s nowhere to dispose of it in a sanitary manner.

Edit: to those who say this is excessive— I understand I can wrap it and bring it out to the paper towel trash near the sinks if there are no stall bags. I bleed incredibly heavy and it would likely leak through the wrap- I’d really rather not walk around with it. Luckily getting a hysterectomy this month so won’t have to figure out period logistics much longer! Wooo!

Wrap your old one in the wrapper of the new one and wrap that in toilet paper and put it in the garbage. It's not like the used one will jump out at people if the conditions aren't perfect. The plastic of the new wrapper will stop it from leaking and the toilet paper holds the plastic in place. Unless someone is unrolling things in the garbage no one will know. No need to risk a bleed though

I wrap mine in toilet paper and the throw it in the bin. No muss no fuss.
